I posted on here about 3 days ago, worried because 13 week old DS hadn't fed from 6am (it was about 12pm when i posted and he's usually an every 2 hours kinda guy)
Took him to the doctors and there is nothing obviously medically wrong with him, so i (with the help of MN) came to the conclusion he was on a nursing strike.
I've spoken to BF'ing helplines/counsellors and spent alot of time in the past few days all nudey with DS, letting him fall asleep on me with lots of skin to skin; but he's still refusing to feed from me during the day, unless i manage to latch him on just as he wakes up, but even then he tends to pull off before the let down. So he's really getting minimal feeds throughout the day.
Problem is he's making up for this at night, whilst im glad he's not completely refusing BF'ing its killing me being up every 1.5 - 2 hours feeding him.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to encourage DS to feed from me when he's awake again? I dont have any idea why he went on "strike" so i dont know what to change to make it better IYSWIM.
also do i need to express all the feeds he's missing to keep my supply up or is it not so much of a problem at 13 weeks?
